Mojo Inspired Sparkle

It's the Eve of Christmas Eve and things are heating up here at Casa Martins. It's icy cold outside but we've got the fire going inside. We spent the last hour or so rearranging our tree....again. Yep the little minx is turning out to be quite the tree climbing ball-basher. (Get that image out of your head! LOL) I have half a dozen broken baubles to try and put together, bits of tree to throw into the fire and somehow reclaim our a dining table which has all but disappeared under wrapping papers, ribbons and unwrapped presents.... I have never been this disorganised. So what do I do? I make a card, of course!

Here it is:

This really is a super simple card. I'm using pale blue CS to make this 4-1/2" square card. The greeting and image is from Clearly Bessotted's Merry Little Christmas set. I stamped the greeting with Memento Blue Danube. The snowflakes are die cut using SB's Create a Flake 5, lightly inked with TH's Broken China for a hint of colour. I coloured the snowman with Promarkers and cut him out with CB's coordinating die collection.

Using Versamark ink, I stamped some snowflakes on the background and added a blue bling on the biggest flake. And for texture I cut out some sparkly white fun-foam to make a snowy scene. I really didn't have the time nor the emotional strength to fuss about with buttons and ribbons etc, so this will have to do. It's my interpretation of this week's Mojo sketch.

That's all from me today. I have a ton of things still to do. Hope you are all warm and cozy and enjoying these last few hours at home and not stuck in traffic or in a queue at the mall! Thank you so much for stopping by and have a very Merry Christmas. I'll be back tomorrow to reveal the naughty little addition to our family. Got to go...I hear the baubles tinkling... again!

LOL! I CAN'T get that image out of my head, and I'm just sitting here snorting! Making a card seems like a better response than my usual "OMG I have so much to do...I'm going to take a nap" Plus it's ADORABLE!

Such a wonderful creation with great attention to detail. Love the colours and embellishments. All the elements work so well together. I saw this on MIM and just had to pop over to have a closer look. Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed Christmas.Hugs Desíre {Doing Life – my personal blog}
